It's the 16th of October and we would love to be so much further along than we are today. We have had an incredible amount of setbacks and delays, but we are still working on the beta and we are still working on getting it out to you as soon as possible. At the same time, I want to be transparent about what's been going on and why we are where we are.

I am so excited to go to HHN again this year and elated to go to every house available for the Behind the Screams tours too! I can't fully enjoy myself to the max without a little prep though.

Biggest bit of advice first, download the the universal Orlando app and set it up if you don’t already have it.

Things are getting busy over here in the orchard. We can't start to build the booth yet for the Transworld Halloween Show as we just got our walls from NCV as of June 1st and are waiting on a few other goodies to get going. Plenty else is keeping us busy though.

The name that started our story came from our roots. We began in a dreamy oasis of Silicon Valley over 10 years ago now. The land was an apricot orchard in its last life. When looking for our haunt name, even as super amateurs, I knew there was great power in a name. Especially when you're broke. Not to mention we had huge dreams of becoming local legend.
